Rio Cahabon (Alta Verapaz) 1, 3, 4, or 5 Days
Intermediate to Challenging (class III-IV)
Minimum age: 12 - ALL YEAR ROUND
This is Guatemala's best whitewater adventure river yet. It combines crystal clear emerald green waters and pristine jungle with the exhilaration of class III-IV rapids. Explore caves along the river, enjoy a natural "jacuzzi" at "El Pequeño Paraiso", formed by a natural thermal spring. Sighting of toucans, parrots, great blue herons, king fishers, oropendula and many more bird species abound.
On the complete 5 day excursion enjoy our stops at the Quetzal Reserve "Biotopo Mario Dary" , marvel at the ancient Maya archaeological site of Quirigua, known for its unusual zoomorphic figures, and the largest stelae in the Maya World. Our shorter trips may combine some of the previously mentioned attractions, depending on the section of the river.
Trips to Cahabon river may be combined with many other sites, either on the Alta Verapaz region or in the Izabal and Rio Dulce area. See "more information" for hints on how to make a longer trip and combine it with the other places of interest, either cultural, archaeological or natural.
